About Corine

The name HeART for eARTh —with the capital "ART "—expresses the essence of my work: not as a concept, but as a living, lived process. A mission that invites stillness, remembrance, and connection with your inner and outer world. My creations—installations, paintings, and light objects—are vehicles of that intention.

 

After a long period of deep silence,
'A Summit of Silence' opened up a different way of perceiving. Not from thinking or doing, but from Being.

In it, the interconnectedness of everything becomes clearly visible and tangible as essence. Since then, my work and life have gained an extra layer of depth: a deep memory of the realization has become a life of it: " There is no other ."

 

The stream of poetic texts I receive at night—Night Notes—is a tangible consequence of this. This language has become inextricably intertwined with my visual work. I am not a poet, but a listener to what wants to come through me, both in words and in form.

Nature's Law

Every tree, a silent witness

of our time, which runs relentlessly

on the wheel, and doesn't bother

if we love or kill each other.

 

For Nature's laws runs different trails,

not human-like, she never fails

or wins that's not her game.

That's why Nature 'll never blame

 

or shuffle in the 'wrong' directions.

For good and bad are human's sections.

Such silent teachers all around -

and we still keep searching for the ground

 

where finally our feet can rest, the Quest is done

Not realizing Eden is never gone

but plays her eternal role throughout our days,

and silently shows secret ways.
